The 1824 presidential election is very similar to the 2016 contest between Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump. Just like now, in 1824, the winner of the popular vote did not have enough electoral votes to win the election.

The Electoral College actually votes for the US President. The Popular Vote only 'elects' the members of the Electoral College.
