Treason is to betray your country. Usually this is in the form of helping an opposing or enemy country for monetary gain or because of strong political or religious beliefs.
"…..the living guarantee of the American belief in the supremacy of the civil over military authority 'and' to take any measure which may best subdue the enemy."
Yes, they wanted to punish the South and treat them as a defeated enemy rather than trying to get the back into the union as painlessly as possible,

Senator William I Marcy supported Andrew Jackson's replacement of John Quincy Adam's appointees by referring to the idea that "to the victor belong the spoils of the enemy." So, in a sense, Jackson created the "spoils system" of political patronage.

John C. Calhoun
Andrew Jacksons rivals were the Whigs. Love: Jacey M.
The bill was to re-charter the Bank of the US. The president of the bank was a long-time Jackson enemy and he pressured Congress to time the bill in order to make it a campaign issue. Jackson had long opposed the bank because it had become a political arm of the Eastern establishment of which Jackson was not a member. He believed that a national bank was unconstitutional. Jackson did more than veto the rechartering bill. After the bill failed, he did not wait for the charter to expire, but ordered federal funds to be withdrawn from the bank and placed in western state banks . This dried up capital in the East and made credit easy on the west, causing a unhealthy financial bubble in land speculation.
