An Unkind cut.

The ‘"unkindest cut of all,"’ among the many which John Bull has administered of late to Brother Jonathan, is the declaration of a leading London journal, that ‘"the Yankees care nothing for the negro, but everything for the money,"’

To hear a paper from beneath the shade of Exeter Hall taunting Mr. Doodle with hypocrisy upon the negro question, and having no object in view in this war but a sordid and selfish one! All the crocodile tears and doleful ejaculations of New England philanthropy has failed to impose upon the keen-sighted and unimpassioned common sense of Old England. It sees that the war is not to gratify philanthropy, but to save five hundred millions a year, which will be lost if the ‘"glorious Union"’ is permanently dissolved, and that the only secession which troubles the North is the secession of that amount of money annually from Northern coffers.
