No. Jefferson lead one camp while Hamilton lead a completely different camp. In America's first fledgling years, two groups of people formed: the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Hamilton was a strong Federalist and strove to build the US up into an industrial world power. In order to do this, a large strong central government was needed.
In opposition to the Federalists came the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists would outlast the Anti-Federalists as an established body while the Anti-Federalists would go through stages and evolution around a few central ideals. One evolution of the Anti-Federalists was the Jeffersonian-Republicans, lead by Jefferson. While Hamilton saw the future of the US in northern industry and merchants, Jefferson was an ardent supporter of the yeoman farmer. A strong government hindered an agrarian nation that Jefferson sought. Individual rights were more easily overlooked with strong government control - a refrain repeated by Jefferson throughout his life.
