The mistreatment which he received from the expiring Federalist party opened his eyes to the good that was in their opponents, and toward the end of his third Congress, he was able to be of service to Jefferson in many ways, getting well on the side favored by the majority.

The Democratic Party is often called "the party of Jefferson," while the modern Republican Party is often called "the party of Lincoln," although the modern party system with a liberal, economically populist Democratic party and a conservative, free market-oriented Republican Party did not arise until the 1890s.

 JCC--Text 1--Intro
Like his fellow triumvirs, Calhoun was acknowledged as one of his age's only legitimate successors to George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson--but ironically, none of the three ever achieved the summit of his hopes, the presidency.
The deaths of the triumvirs, starting with Calhoun in 1850 and ending with Clay and Webster in 1852, were felt heavily around the globe--the London Times, for one, opined that something of "antique greatness" had passed from the American scene.
As the party's philosophy developed under the leadership of Clay and Webster, it eventually came to stand for a strong national bank, federally financed internal improvements, and protective tariffs.
