What kind of objects? Don't merge them unless you understand what's going on. Usually they both exist for good reasons.

Using iD editor: if they are nodes, simply drag one element on another; if they are ways, copy the tags from the wrong one into the correct one and delete the wrong one.

Using JOSM editor: if they are nodes, drag one node on top of the other, then press "M". If they are ways, , copy the tags from the wrong one into the correct one and delete the wrong one.

Alternative with JOSM: If the ways overlap (or you can modify one to have them overlap) then select both and use shift-J to join them.
