Nope. The 1hp is a given amount of power. Therefore, it is not dependent on speed. Torque is what is dependent on speed, and if you put in 1hp at 100rpm, you are putting in 52 pound feet of torque. However, the output will only have 5.2 pound feet of torque, 1000 rpm, and again 1hp. All of this assumes perfect efficiency.
