In this excerpt from his Farewell Address, Washington is warning the American population about Political Parties. He highlights how misrepresentations between different districts can create jealousy and division, undermining the unity that should exist among the people.
One of the expedients of party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions & aims of other Districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heart burnings which spring from these misrepresentations. They tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection. - Washington's Farewell Address
