No. The two were very different documents, and served very different purposes.

The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order, written, signed and issued by President Lincoln, and the Gettysburg Address was a speech, written and given by President Lincoln in order to dedicate a national cemetery to the men that died during the Battle of Gettysburg.
