Adams was elected by the House of Representatives because no candidate got a majority in the electoral college. Henry Clay came in fourth in the electoral vote and so was dropped from consideration. Clay was able to get the states he had carried to vote for Adams, apparently in exchange for an appointment as Secretary of States in the Adams cabinet and this "corrupt bargain" infuriated the supporters of Andrew Jackson who had come in first in both electoral and popular vote.
