Sec. 20. If any clause, sentence, Section, provision or part of this Article or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, other than the applicability of the Article to messages originating or terminating outside this State, shall be adjudged to be unconstitutional, the remainder of this Article or its application to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby.
