No I am pretty sure Console does not erase the logs. You want the  
console.log files, not the system logs. Look in: /Library/Logs/ 
Console/501 or something similar. I have the following files there:
console.log     console.log.1   console.log.3   console.log.5    
console.log.7   console.log.9
console.log.0   console.log.2   console.log.4   console.log.6    
console.log.8

The numbered ones are the backups. So somewhere there would be your  
answer I would guess, if it is not in console.log.

Keep in mind, Console.app only shows you a part of console.log, the  
most recent part, so there is more info in the file.
Also careful, these are big files, TextMate might not be entirely  
happy with them.
