No he did not, but that was because it was not in his power to do so. He was of the Federalist philosophy, but the Federalists were not an organized political party like today's parties are. Essentially the Federalist and Republican party (of Jefferson and Madison) were just men of like-minded philosohies who worked together to make the government into what they thoguht it should be. As far as stopping political parties from happening, not only was it beyond anyone's ability, but it might have been considered unconstitutional under the First Amendment, as violating free speech and assembly and redress of government.
