As a result of the "Corrupt Bargain" of 1824, Andrew Jackson resigned from the Senate. He founded a new political party, the Jacksonian Democrats. Beginning already in 1825, he ran a very aggressive campaign for the presidency in 1828 and won that election.
Further explanation:
In the presidential election of 1824, Andrew Jackson won the most popular votes (43%) and won the most electoral votes also. But since no one had attained a majority of electoral votes, the decision was given to the US House of Representatives, which named John Quincy Adams as president. Jackson accused Adams and Speaker of the House Henry Clay of what he called "a corrupt bargain."
Jackson resigned from the Senate in October, 1825. He was nominated by the Tennessee legislature as a candidate for the presidency. He rallied supporters around him in a new party that became known as the Democratic Party. Jackson won the election for President in 1928. It was a nasty, dirty campaign, with heavy personal attacks about the candidates being tossed around by both sides. The mudslinging campaign for the presidency in 1828 set a precedent for the sort of negative politics we've been seeing ever since.
