According to the US Constitution, if no one gets a majority of the votes in the electoral college for president, the House of Representatives will choose the President. That is what happened in the case of Jackson in 1824. Even though Jackson got more electoral votes than Adams, there were 3rd and 4th candidates that also got votes, so Jackson did not have a majority. Adams had more pull in the House and they chose him.
