I think you are confused. Jackson supporters accused Henry Clay of making a deal with John Quincy Adams in 1824. The supposed deal was that Clay got his supporters to support Adams for president over Jackson in exchange for which, Adams would appoint Clay his Secretary of State.
John Q. Adams was supported by a coalition of the old Federalist residue of his father, upper class Southerners and in general, those who were anti-Jackson. His supporters formed the Whig Party by the time he ran a second time.
When Henry Clay urged his supporters to vote for John Quincy Adams in the 1824 presidential election, it led to Adams winning the presidency despite Andrew Jackson receiving more popular and electoral votes. This controversial decision, often referred to as the "Corrupt Bargain," resulted in significant political fallout, with many Jackson supporters feeling betrayed. It intensified the rivalry between the Jacksonian Democrats and Adams' supporters, ultimately shaping the political landscape and leading to the formation of new party alignments.
Jackson supporters called it the Corrupt Bargain.
In the election of 1828, John Quincy Adams and his supporters did not support Andrew Jackson. Adams, who was the incumbent president, faced criticism from Jackson's supporters, who portrayed him as elitist and out of touch with the common people. Additionally, many members of the political establishment and those aligned with the Federalist Party also opposed Jackson, fearing his populist appeal and his stance on issues such as westward expansion and the role of the federal government.
Henry Clay who finished fourth and was no longer in the running was able to get his supporters to vote for Adams. In return Adams made him his Secretary of State. This apparent bargain infuriated Jackson supporters and did great damage to Clay's chances in future elections.
John Quincy Adams had trouble attaining many of his goals as president because the Congress was dominated by supporters of Jackson. Adams was the 6th U. S. President.
The supporters of Jackson became the democrats. The supporters of Adams became the National Republicans. The two-party system created with the election of 1828 were National Republican and Democratic Republican.
Andrew Jackson won the popular vote in 1824 . His supporters were bitterly disappointed when he did not become president.
