Answer:

"the martyred President as the standard bearer to the conscience of his countrymen"

Explanation:

This is the line that best exhibits such connotative language. Connotation refers to a meaning that a word has that is different from its denotation, or dictionary meaning. In this case, the words "martyred," "standard bearer" and "conscience" all imply a high level of respect and admiration for the figure of Abraham Lincoln. The words also imply that the author considers Lincoln an example of everything that is great and good.
