Yep. “There is no analogy between the two cases. The Irishman is poor, but he is not a slave. He may be in rags, but he is not a slave.” (This was written back in America 2 years later his speeches were somewhat more of back and forth affairs - but he refuted the comparison).

In at least one of his speeches he said that he had been accosted by people trying to make the comparison between them and trying to get him to agree that they were the same.
