There were Republicans who saw Jefferson & Madison as sellouts. Most prominent among them where John Randolph and other "Old Republicans."  In Virginia in 1808 they supported Monroe instead of Madison because they viewed him as more in line with their views.   Jackson's policies were in between the views of the Old Republicans and the more nationalist faction of Madison, so I'm not sure how he felt.

Voting property restrictions were state by state, and their disappearance was a gradual process.  Jackson wasn't so much of a turning point on this as is sometimes imagined. Suffrage among white adult men in many rural areas was nearly universal early on since the property requirements in most states were fairly low.   Another thing to keep in mind is one of the main arguments in favor of property requirements was that it would keep the very wealthy from having too much power by buying votes of the very poor, so the politics of this weren't always what you'd expect from a modern perspective.
