By the time the House of Representatives met to make its decision, one man suffered a physical setback. William Crawford suffered a serious stroke that left him a paralytic wreck, unable to walk normally or speak distinctly. The race came down to a choice between Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams.
As a result of placing fourth in the electoral vote, Henry Clay was eliminated BUT, as Speaker of the House that would now choose the President, Clay’s influence was viewed as pivotal.Slide15
After a lengthy private conference with John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, threw his powerful support to Adams. The House of Representatives elected Adams to the Presidency on February 9, 1825. Three days later, President-elect Adams formally offered the position of Secretary of State to Henry Clay.
The supporters of Andrew Jackson (who had received more popular and electoral votes than Adams in the general election) were both suspicious and angry. They accused Adams and Clay of entering into a “corrupt bargain” through which Adams had “purchased” the Presidency from Henry Clay. Jackson, they claimed, had been cheated out of the Presidency!

Diary of John Quincy Adams
Henry Clay to Francis P. Blair
Diary Entry 1
[Edward] Wyer
[confidential informant]
came also to the office
[State Department],
and told me that he had it from good authority that Mr. Clay was much disposed to support me, if he could at the same time be useful to himself… I had conversation at dinner with Mr. Clay...
John Quincy Adams (December 15, 1824)
Diary Entry 2
[conversation with R. P. Letcher, member of the House of Representatives of Kentucky, Clay’s state]:
…The drift of all
Letcher’s
discourse was much the same as
Wyer
had told me, that Clay would willingly support me if he could thereby serve himself, and the substance of his meaning was, that if Clay’s friends could know that he would have a prominent share in the administration, that might induce him to vote for me…
John Quincy Adams (December 17, 1824)
Diary Entry 3
Mr. Clay came at six, and spent the evening with me in a long conversation explanatory of the present and prospective of the future.
John Quincy Adams (January 8, 1825)
The friends of [Jackson] have turned upon me, and with the most amiable unanimity agree to vituperate me…The knaves cannot comprehend how a man can be honest. They cannot conceive that I should have solemnly interrogated my conscience and asked it to tell me seriously what I ought to do. That is should have enjoined me not to establish the dangerous precedent of elevating, in this early stage of the Republic, a military chieftain, merely because he has won a great victory… Mr. Adams, you know well, I should never have selected, if at liberty to draw from the whole mass of our citizens for a President. But there is no danger in his elevation now, or in time to come. Not so of his competitor, of whom I cannot believe that killing two thousand five hundred Englishmen at New Orleans qualifies for the various, difficult, and complicated duties of the Chief Magistracy.Letter: Henry Clay to Francis P. Blair (January 29, 1825)Slide17
