It only took a handful of election cycles after a Presidential victory for the party to be effectively dead, but you could consider that a slow decline. You can only go so far by being opposed to the policies of Andrew Jackson, I guess. Perhaps the new Whigs will get some traction by opposing the policies of the D/R duopoly.
