There are two things I dislike about Clay.

The first is that his high tariffs, low taxes approach signals to me that he's going an isolationist route. It's possible I've misinterpreted this, but that was the immediate impression I got. I obviously approve of infrastructural work and the national bank.

The second is related to the first, which is that he appears to have no coherent foreign policy. If you're going to throw down the high tariffs gauntlet, you've got to have some kind of foreign policy that works within that framework. He obviously has no idea what to do about Spain, which is a major world power and potential trading partner, and I don't get the impression that he has anything in particular planned with Britain or France, either.

I'd still take him over Jackson, though.
