Jackson and his first Vice President, John C. Calhoun, had become enemies in the Nullification Crisis, their polar opposition bringing them into conflict. New York's Martin Van Buren, leader of Northern Democrats and a skilled political manipulator, was the easy choice. These Proceedings record the Delegates by State, the balloting and its result, and the "Address of the Republican Delegates of the State of New-York," defending the President's record, tracing Jacksonians' roots to Thomas Jefferson, and warmly endorsing their Favorite Son.
