Andrew Jackson's wife had a heart attack in the presence of their slave. He pushed the slave aside, crying and hugged his wife. Jackson died 17 years later next to the same slave, who is quoted saying, "Master Jackson was a good man. I have no doubt they let him in heaven." So he obviously did not oppose slavery, but did treat his slaves with respect.
He did not seem to have any reservations about the institution in general and he certainly believed in the Constitutional right to own slaves in those states designated as slave states.
He strongly opposed to attempts to start a slave uprising. He allowed his Postmaster General to "lose" anti-slavery literature that Easterners mailed to southern states from time to time.
