The delegations took their seats accordingly.

Ballot-boxes were distributed to each delegation, by the Sergeant-at-arms, and the Speaker directed that the balloting should, proceed.

The ballots having all been deposited in the boxes, Tellers were named by the respective delegations, being one from each State, who took their seats at two tables.
Mr.Webster of Massachusetts was appointed by those Tellers who sat at one table, and Mr.Randolph of Virginia by those at the other, to announce the result.

After the ballots were counted out, Mr.Webster rose, and said:-- "Mr.Speaker: The Tellers of the votes at this table have proceeded to count the ballots contained in the boxes set before them.

The result they find to be, that there are for John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, thirteen votes; for Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, seven votes; for William H.Crawford, of Georgia, four votes." Mr.Randolph, from the other table, made a statement corresponding with that of Mr.Webster.
The Speaker then stated this result to the House, and announced that JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, having a majority of the votes of these United States, was duly elected President of the same, for four years, commencing on the 4th day of March, 1825.
A committee was appointed to wait upon Mr.Adams, and announce to him the result of the election, of which Mr.Webster was chairman.
