Who were John Quincy Adams' presidential opponents?

Adams ran against four other candidates in the presidential election of 1824: Speaker of the House Henry Clay of Kentucky, Secretary of the Treasury William H. Crawford of Georgia, U.S. Senator Andrew Jackson of Tennessee, and Secretary of War John C. Calhoun of South Carolina. After Crawford suffered a stroke, there was no clear favorite. In the election, no candidate had a majority of the electoral votes (or of the popular votes), although Jackson had been the winner of a plurality of both. Under the terms of the Twelfth Amendment, the presidential election was thrown to the House of Representatives to vote on the top three candidates: Jackson, Adams, and Crawford. Clay had come in fourth place and thus was ineligible, but he retained incredible power as Speaker of the House. Crawford suffered a stroke in 1823 that effectively ended his candidacy, although he later recovered. Clay's personal dislike for Jackson and the similarity of his American System to Adams' position on tariffs and internal improvements caused him to throw his support to Adams, who was elected by the House on February 9, 1825, on the first ballot. Adams' victory shocked Jackson, who had gained the plurality of the electoral and popular votes and fully expected to be elected president. When Adams appointed Clay as Secretary of State-the position that Adams and his three predecessors had held before becoming President-Jacksonian Democrats were outraged, and claimed that Adams and Clay had struck a "corrupt bargain." This contention shadowed over Adams' term and greatly contributed to Adams' loss to Jackson four years later, in the 1828 election. According to Wikipedia

What was the corrupt bargain and how did that change peoples perspectives of John Quincy Adams?

The corrupt bargain refers to an apparent deal made between Adams and Henry Clay. Clay was able to swing the electoral votes from the states he had carried over to Adams and Adams made Clay his Secretary of State, a position which in the past had been a stepping stone to the presidency, The Jackson supporters, angry that Jackson was not made president event though he was the leader in both popular and electoral votes, made sure that people were constantly reminded of this "corrupt bargain" and I am sure that it cast a shadow on Adams' character for some people.
