George Washington on the 'spirit of Party generally'

[Warlord]

Does anyone know the context of the George Washington quote used by Justin on his twitter which warns against the 'spirit of party generally'?

Were parties around in the 1700's? What did Washington really think of them? Did he ever belong to any?

Don't get caught up in party so much. Policy over party. The speech itself is on his The Facebook account

Two parties - Federalist Party, and Democratic-Republican Party. Plus their may have been some regional differences
