Henry Clay ran for the National Republicans against Andrew Jackson. The party was formed against Jackson Democrats and soon grew into the Whigs.

Jackson refused to recharter the National Bank because it went against his beliefs. He deemed the bank unconstitutional. He also saw that the attack based on the bank was a very personal attack.
The Jackson Democrats and their followers were against it. As a group they lived in the West and were none too rich.
